Go bankrupt
"No." Carroll refused me without hesitation. He threw my phone on the bedside table and said, "Don't put it under the pillow."
It wouldn't be convenient for me to reach it if I didn't put it under the pillow!
Wait a minute.
Whether I put it under the pillow or not wasn't the key, okay? I softened my voice and said, "Mr. Carroll, look, you can earn more than six million dollars a year, more than six million dollars! Why should we offend him?"
"If I hate him, I'll turn his money into my own money. It's so cool to think about it. Mr. Carroll, please allow me to leave the hospital to recuperate. Anyway, I just lie on my stomach and rest here every day. Am I agree?"
More than six million dollars were enough to buy a few Phoenix Villages.
Only Carroll could face such a huge sum of money with ease.
No, I must keep Peter, this rich man, to him today. He had to support me. One meal in Cheuk Restaurant cost a few thousand dollars. We couldn't go bankrupt like this.
Carroll didn't react at all.
"Mr. Carroll?" I leaned over and put my hands under my chin. "I don't want people to say that I can't make my husband rich and bring disaster to him..."
"Make me rich? Bring disaster?" Carroll seemed to be extremely interested in these words.
I straightened my face and said seriously, "In our place, if a man doesn't live a good life after getting married, people will say his wife can't make him rich. If he lives a better life, they will say his wife brings him luck."
"That's superstition. Whether my life is good or bad, it can't be changed by one person. It depends on my will. I only believe in myself."
Carroll pulled me back into his arms and said, "Go to sleep."
"Well, I also believe in you. In the future, Mr. Carroll, you will be my god." I quietly looked at his smile and said coyly, "Then, don't let Peter be transferred to another hospital."
"Hurry up and go to sleep. I'll bring you out of the hospital tomorrow!" Carroll pressed my head back and said faintly, "Babe, do you know it's very dangerous to lie on top of a man and act like a spoiled child?"
I didn't understand. "I didn't lie on someone else's top. You're the one who treats me the best in the world. I won't be in any danger."
Carroll sighed. "Hurry up and go to sleep!"
"Yes, Mr. Carroll."
I chuckled in the quilt, having a pleasure of achieving my goal.
Ah, Mr. Carroll wouldn't go bankrupt. I could eat without worry.
The next day, when I got up, Rose had already prepared a loose T-shirt and matching trousers. Carroll, who had been a human cushion for me all night, had left.
There were too many people in the hospital. As a "dead" person, it was not convenient for him to stay here during the day.
"I'm discharged from the hospital!" After breakfast and changing my clothes, I happily sat in the wheelchair with a box of snacks bought in Cheuk Restaurant in my arms.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I went out, I ran into Peter, who was being held by someone for a check-up.
"Cheuk Restaurant?" Peter's eyes were sharp, and he saw the lunch box in my hand at a glance. "Carroll really dotes on you. Did he order food from Cheuk Restaurant for you in the morning?"
No way!
I subconsciously held the snack box tightly in my arms. Peter was someone who smashed his bowl for the food in Cheuk Restaurant. He wouldn't steal my food, would he?
"Peter, you don't know about this. Madam's meals these two days are all bought in Cheuk Restaurant. Mr. Carroll cares about her so much." Rose leaned my wheelchair aside to keep a distance from Peter.
"Today, she is discharged from the hospital, so she won't stay with you for a long time," Rose said, glancing at the door.
It seemed to be unintentional, but in fact, it was intentional.
Only then did I realize that there were more than a dozen bodyguards standing at the gate of the courtyard, looking at us in unison, for fear that I would have a conflict with Peter.
Peter rolled his eyes. "Does Carroll treat me as a thief?"
"He is just on guard against you! Rose, let's go."
I should be on guard against a pervert, a lecher, and...
"Interesting." Peter's voice sounded behind me. I didn't dare to look back.
Edith smiled helplessly and said, "There are not many women who can interest Peter."
After getting in the car, I rolled my eyes at the hospital, which was gradually getting farther and farther away.
Who wanted to be interested in him? What a pervert!
The car did not drive back to the Bamboo Pavilion. Instead, it arrived at a luxurious apartment called Sky City in the center of the city.
This apartment was very interesting. The first to the seventh floor was a shopping mall that included shopping, catering, and entertainment.
Above the eighth floor, there was only one flat-story mansion on each floor.
On the way, Rose made a simple introduction to me. The 57th floor of the Sky City was another residence of Carroll. The surrounding facilities were complete. Before I recovered, I lived here.
"How many houses does Mr. Carroll have?" I sat in a wheelchair and looked up at the towering building.
Rose thought for a moment and said, "I don't know. I have to ask Jason."
I was more and more glad that I left Peter in the hospital.
That was because I found out that my husband really liked spending money.
He bought houses, and clothes, and ate in Cheuk Restaurant...
It was a large flat floor of more than 400 square meters, and I couldn't see the end of it.
However, I saw the woman sitting on the sofa at a glance.
She was wearing an exquisite makeup and a pure white business suit, which made her look like a porcelain doll.
"Hello, I'm Lina, the private doctor of Mr. Carroll." She walked over to me with a smile and reached out her hand, but soon took it back. "Oh, I forgot. It's not convenient for you to shake hands with me."
"Er..." I looked at her face and sensed her temperament brought on by the growing environment. Then I looked at my hand in the air, and the smile on my face was completely stiff. "I can shake hands."
"It's good to reduce formism," she said and took out the case record. "I'll live with you during this period of time. When you're not comfortable, you can call me 24 hours a day. My room is opposite your room."
She was polite, but not very polite.
I nodded blankly and complained in my heart.
During this period of time, Mr. Carroll was on a business trip to F Continent. He might not even be able to return in half a month.
I had to face the poker-faced Lina alone 24 hours a day.
Please, I was afraid of getting along with people.
What I didn't understand was that Lina was like an emotionless robot.
When I saw her for the first time, I thought she was the vicious second female lead who always made things difficult for the heroine in a drama. I didn't expect that the plot didn't develop as I imagined.
I stayed in this house for a week, and my back was healed by 80 percent. I wouldn't feel any pain in the part where my bones were broken if I walked.
Lina always appeared in front of me like we were meeting for the first time. Even in the middle of the night, she never appeared in pajamas.
This woman was so rigid.
Even when I went out, I had to get her permission.
"Doctor Lina, see, I'm already energetic. Can you let me go out for a walk? Please, please, please."
I circled around her. Today was the last day of the tutoring class registration. If I didn't go out, I would have to wait another year.
I was almost 20 years old, and my peers were already in their second year in college. I really couldn't afford to wait.
